Reviews

The only biography of Tupaia, Druett's astute portrait vitally contributes to annals of exploration and cultural contact.
*Booklist*

Druett's narrative beautifully captures the essence of Tupaia's world and brings it alive for readers. Her excellent study of an extraordinary—and nearly forgotten—Tahitian should be enjoyed by readers interested in British maritime history and Polynesian history and culture.
*Library Journal*

Joan Druett has written an interesting and very readable book. . . . Pacific historians will be familiar with most of the events described in the book, but will appreciate this fine focus on and tribute to Tupaia
